Depends what you think unmetered means...
If you think it means "unrestricted", then it's a problem.
If you think it means "charges are not proportional to usage", then
it's a
fair description.
The ISP industry has, overall taken the view that it means the
latter.
Let's look at the example of "unmetered water connection". This means
that
you pay a fixed monthly rate for your water, but the water company reserve
the
right to restrict your supply if they have supply problems.
In this case, I'd say fair play to this ISP for making it clear
up-front on
the advertising page, rather than burying it deeply in the small print of a
contract.... or changing the terms once you were signed up.

TBH, I didn't look but that seems to be the trend and allowed
to
continue for some reason, to me that does not constitute an
unmetered
connection!
